Bling Bling and Bling Bang

I finally got to see Blood Diamond, thanks to my “bru”

Powerful movie I must say. Brilliant.
Watch it if you have the time. CNN will also be showing a special feature on conflict diamonds, which should be informative, interesting and watch-worthy.

Happy Birthday Shobi!

The one where i get dramatic..

I am still reeling from my celebratory mood but for the sake of my people who have asked me to blog about my day, I shall do it.
I hold the record in my class for not crying the whole 1.5 years in school. Yes as surprising as that sounds, I was always the one who ended up hugging crying mates and to a certain extent literally “lending” my shoulder to my girl friends. But I broke this record yesterday by crying like a baby except this time it was tears of joy. Yes,” tears of joy” was a phrase I often used in my essays in secondary school, I never understood or experienced what it really meant or felt like till yesterday. And you know what it is the BEST feeling ever!

I woke up last morning hoping I could freeze time like Hiro Nakamura.I refused to get out of bed and face what was about to be results that could potentially “shape” my life. Honestly, this was it. Either I made it or I didn’t. And I desperately hoped that my 1.5 years would not go to waste. I spent the whole morning worrying myself to the limit and thinking of all worst possible circumstances that could possibly result. The ride to school was the longest 15 minutes of my entire life and the walk into the hall was even worse. Every step forward made me think of taking 2 steps back. I met a few of my fellow mates and walked in with them.The first girl we came across ran out crying and we silently looked at each other and smiled. I had to break the silence and say my trademark phrase” Don’t worry. You’ll be fine” {I’ve been telling this to every classmate of mine, irony being I was equally worried}

So I finally reached the table that had A4 plastered on it with loads of juniors watching from the gallery,nosy students poking into your results even before you get it,teachers walking around ready to hug those who did well and console those who did not.One by one my classmates got their results and they walked away.Everyone did well,not just what they wanted.Then it was my turn and I went.My form teacher gave me her stoic look and handed me my folder.The minute I saw it ,I let out a little yelp and cried. “You deserve it, now go apply for uni”is what I got back. I swear that was the best feeling ever. It was just too overwhelming for me. The journey this far has been anything but easy and I am happy I did what I did.

I was looked down upon because I was a normal academic student.People saw me inferior to them.”Stupid” normal student in a “lousy” neighbourhood school is what someone ,a family member to be exact,once refered to me as.And I decided then,if there was anything I had to do was to not only prove myself but to prove in general that yes we take an extra year but give us a chance we will outshine you.Even certain teachers in secondary school told me to opt for a ploy diploma instead of a JC cert because chances of me scoring good grades will be low.In JC they told me that for those with the aggregate of 17 to 20,NUS will be out of reach.

What I want to say is simply, never write someone off. Some people start off strong and fall, like the family member who called me stupid, some people start off slow but catch up before you know it. Everyone is worth giving a chance and never never look down on anyone. It does not matter which school one ends up in. Raffles or Loyang ,Hwa Chong or Serangoon.We all have what it takes it’s just a matter of how bad we want it .Today I am proud to say I was in the Normal Academic stream,I am proud to say I was in Loyang, I am proud to say I made it in SR.All these places have given me more than any top class school could have ever given me.

A big shout out to all my teachers in sec sch ,my tutors in JC , Diana and Jennifer.

I honestly couldn’t have done it without my family and their support. My success is theirs as much as it is mine.

To all those who looked down on me, thank you. You pushed me and gave me reason to work myself.

p.s GOD thanks for sticking to our little agreement {winks..} I owe you big time.

Special mention to my mates for standing by me, and my sec school clique who have seen me through from the start.

STATISTICS DOES NOT DEFINE ME.THEY NEVER HAVE AND NEVER WILL!

"sha loves you"

When Kela silk makes you famous...

So I spent my lonely weekend watching movies. Guru my friend, is worth the watch. It’s just movies like these that show you 2 things a) Indian cinema has HOPE and can produce meaningful movies without too much of dramatics and b)Mani Ratnam is the best for a reason. His movies are the only ones that have become a must watch and I think he gives all the other wannabe director/producers a run for their money. From Thalapathi to Roja to Yuva/Aayutha Erathu,he’s got the magic happening and guru is just another he can add to his list to accomplishments. I also appreciate the way he has managed to tell the story without taking sides. Abishek Bachan kicked some major chaadi and come to think of it no one could have pulled off a better Gurukant Desai. Special credit must be given to Madhavan. Despite his very limited time on screen he still has a major impact on the audience and the movie as a whole, just like his flawless performance in RDB.This man is one example to show that good looks and a hot body alone does not define a good actor.

I’ll leave you with bits of review that holds my opinions too.

“The area where Rathnam triumphs the most is his objective viewpoint while handling the context of Gurukant Desai’s success. He doesn’t justify or romanticizes the wrong means employed by Guru in moving up. And the final picture that emanates is that of a man who rose to the top to fall and then rise again. But he is not all black. Or all white. He has shades of grey with warts of blemishes. Yet his basic intentions are honest.
Guru’ is a film beyond Box Office. It’s a film which comes your way once in a life time. Not everybody shall like it. For it’s not traditional entertainment. But if cinema is more than mere fun for you, then you shall surely treasure ‘Guru’. For a long time to come. “


Like my aunt said “Only intelligent people will be able to appreciate Guru”

I do not think well of plagiarism only because I think its absolutely disgusting to rip off someone else’s piece and shamelessly put your name under it.{See PW does much more good than you’d think..winks}Hence I am letting you know that Faridoon Shahryar is the proud owner of the review i lifted.

When you had your eyes on me

Why I know I’ve got the best brothers in the world..

My eldest one told me about the Jay sean thingy a month before it even happened and tried to get special passes for me to meet him plus he had to tolerate all my bickering.

My second brother completely floored me when he decided himself to take me. I honestly pitied him and his other male friends who had to wait for me to see a brit Indian guy they care nuts about plus tolerate pushing and screaming girls. That was by far the sweetest thing my bro has ever done for me especially since he hates things like these.

I know I’m not the best sister at times and I can be extremely annoying.And yes I do take advantage of them sometimes {which I shouldn’t be doing} but I really do appreciate everything these 2 boys have done for me throughout these 19 years and 2 months. And although I don’t say it enough I love them..
Ok enough of all the emo crap

Moving on to the show..it was “mental”{a word he used to describe the show}A lot of screaming girls {A LOT} but it was fun. I managed to get right in front of the stage which meant yours truly did get a few glances from the man himself.He looked at me while singing ahhhhhhhhhhhh..{inside joke}
Wouldn’t have traded the night for anything else and thanks to all those who came with me. Now all I need to see is Rishi Rich.

I’ll leave with you with a few pics taken at Indochine.


















Happy CNY to all my fwens.I miss you guys loads..
